"When you say yes to others,
make sure you are not saying no to yourself.”
-Paulo Coelho

Hello Renée,

Are you a “Pleaser” or an “Over-giver”? 
If so, you likely have boundary issues; or in other words, you do not know how to say “NO” - Or you are very uncomfortable saying it!  As a result, you may well be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, exhausted, and outright frustrated wondering, “Why am I always the one having to do everything?”  If you are feeling this way, it’s because you have yet to learn about boundaries and the importance of saying “NO”! 

Until you learn to say this word often, you will struggle living your dream as you’ll be working for someone else building their dream!   Want a lesson on how to say “NO” so you can start living your dream?  Book a free consultation at https://theleapnetwork.coachesconsole.com/calendar

Tending the Fences: Setting Healthy Boundaries

“Good fences make good neighbors.” So goes the old proverb from the well-loved American poet Robert Frost.  

Likewise, good personal boundaries make for good relationships and businesses.  Boundaries are those invisible lines of protection you draw around yourself.  They let people know your limits on what they can say or do around you.  Healthy boundaries give you freedom in relating to others. Make them too solid, you build walls, too weak and you allow other’s actions to harm you.

It’s not always clear where our boundaries are or need to be. Recognizing and studying the signs of ignored or ineffective boundaries is a good place to start!

Click here to learn about the “symptoms” which give clues to the needed boundary, and some strategies for applying limits when your boundaries are intruded upon.

Badges of Honor

One of the things your inner critic will tell you to keep you from moving forward with your dreams, your goals, and your best life is this…

You will get hurt. I am here to protect you.

I wish I could tell you that this is another lie concocted to keep you mediocre…but I can’t. The fact is, you may actually get hurt. You might accrue a few bumps and bruises, and they may sting a bit.

But guess what…You will heal.

The Rebel Within wants you to feel vulnerable and weak.  It wants you to believe you’re a fragile little thing in need of its protection. THAT, my friend, is the lie.  You are NOT weak. You ARE mighty and strong.

From the moment of your birth, you’ve incurred injuries, accidents, slaps, spankings, cuts, contusions and more. And you’ve healed from every single one of them. You fell and you got back up, again and again and AGAIN!

In fact, with each of those injuries, you’ve grown stronger and more intelligent. Wiser. More alert and nimble.

Every one of those scars, both inside and out, is a badge of honor.  Every mark you bear tells you and the rest of the world that you’re a fighter.  You’re not afraid to push the envelope, test your mettle and try new things.  You’re courageous and able to hold your own on the battlefields you find as you pursue your passions.

The part of you that you use to create and move beautifully in the world can never be wounded. Your deep well of dreams and fire and innovative ideas only grows stronger with each lick from the outside world.

Rather than avoiding the slings and arrows of outrageous misfortune, go seeking your badges of honor.  Throw yourself into your work, knowing full well that you’re liable to hit a wall or two. Rise up a little higher, knowing people will take shots at those who stand out. They do it to make their unsatisfactory life seem better.  You are not weak.  There’s nothing to fear.  You were forged in the fires of passion, made of the same molecules as lions and iron.

You can do this.   Ask for help – there is nothing wrong with getting help!  As my coach Kate says, “Even the Lone Ranger had Tonto”!

How will you seek your badges of honor?

Renée Blasky is the Founder and CEO of The LEAP Network Ltd.

She wasn’t always the risk-taking entrepreneur that she is today. Through several important life experiences, including being an "expat" for the vast majority of her life and sailing an ocean, she learned the importance and benefits of risk-taking and how to embrace risk rather than fear it! Renée also realized capturing life’s fulfillment meant giving back to others. So, she started her second business: The LEAP Network in order to share her experiences and expertise with entrepreneurs and potential entrepreneurs.  This includes "trailing spouses", stay-at-home parents or elderly care givers who have sacrificed their careers due to circumstances beyond their control.  Renée coaches existing entrepreneurs on ways to monetize their passion, revitalize their businesses and take action to grow their businesses.  She coaches those  who have sacrificed their careers, either by choice or by uncontrolled circumstances, to eliminate frustration, boredom and loneliness while becoming more fulfilled and happy!  By helping them start their own online businesses, they can get their identity back, boost their self esteem and once again be financially independent!
